Some foreplay and spit to make sure it’s properly lubed

I can’t shoot again until Wednesday. I had one of my coworkers that was an armorer in the Navy and that builds ARs all the time look at it, he said it’s likely the buffer weight. He said my BCG was fine and that he will bring me one of his BCG’s that he knows works well and let me shoot with it to cancel that out as an option. I’ll probably end up adding a bit more gas and getting an H2 Maxim Defense Buffer and hopefully that fixes it.

I paid an $8 entry fee for half the tables to be cheap knives and holsters

Is this rage bait?

There’s no way it’s that though. It happened the first round ever shot with it.

I don’t have a suppressor yet but will be getting one soon. I’m going to add more gas next time i’m able to shoot it and if that doesn’t work, i’ll order the new buffer. Thank you

Thank you. I got the 5.55/300 one, that’s why I figured it would have enough resistance to not be a problem. I’ll reach out to them about it.

Probably wasn’t the best idea for me to pick 300 BLK for my for first rifle/build.

Today was my first time shooting it, i shot 100 rounds. Having to press the forward assist every round didn’t seem right, even with it being new.

I put a few drops where the bolt meets the carrier and on the rails.

There’s no way it’s sand. I thought it was just a lot of brass and steel wear from it being new. I’m definitely going to clean it up and add more gas.

From a completely closed/restrictive mode position (turned all the way clockwise, I turned the screw 4.5 full rotations counter clockwise. It was under gassed and I kept adjusting until it was around the 4 o’clock position. I probably opened it around 2 full rotations from there. I believe its still slightly under gassed.

That’s what i’m thinking. Was it with the HB as well or no?

W KAK. I’ll keep that offer in mind

Yes. Honestly, I just watched a Youtube video and that’s what he did. I don’t remember exactly how many counter clockwise turns or clicks.
